Multimodal Feature Extraction for Memes Sentiment Classification
share
In this study, we propose feature extraction for multimodal meme classification using Deep Learning approaches. A meme is usually a photo or video with text shared by the young generation on social media platforms that expresses a culturally relevant idea. Since they are an efficient way to express emotions and feelings, a good classifier that can classify the sentiment behind the meme is important. To make the learning process more efficient, reduce the likelihood of overfitting, and improve the generalizability of the model, one needs a good approach for joint feature extraction from all modalities. In this work, we proposed to use different multimodal neural network approaches for multimodal feature extraction and use the extracted features to train a classifier to identify the sentiment in a meme.
